And you tar the members of Accyweb with the racist brush....well pardon me, but isn't that post just a little bit racist...or does the smiley absolve you from that crime?
yes my post was just a liitle bit racist...but then I do have a basic knowledge of history....jamming millions of men, women and children into gas chambers..should that be forgotten?.. and should the IRA bombings be forgotten?... maybe it's worth remembering that the Nazis started off by generating a population of mass murderers by a gentle and slow proccess of picking on jews and non Germans..and eventually almost the whole population joined in ... we think it could not happen here... but it is a start.

I also have some knowledge of history too.
My Father was blown up at the D-day landings.......but we are talking a long time ago now.......and many of the Germans who were the perpetrators of those atrocities are long dead and are answering for their crimes to their maker.

So from your answer I guess that you think that a race of people, who have done wrong in the past, must pay for it in perpetuity.......the sins of the fathers, and all that.

Surely you don't believe that this justifies racism, but then perhaps you do........and are therefore no different from those whom you label racist.

I think that a race that managed to design factories for the sole purpose of killing millions of women and children should have to pay... and it may have been along time ago( is say 70yrs along time)...I don't know of any other race that murdered so many people on a mass scale.. so why should I tip toe around any Germans?..the sins of the Muslim extremists are here and now and we should fight them to the death..but until time tells me they are all to blame I can't see any real reason to "send em home".. or.. "give me a gun I'll get rid of em".. sort of stuff that is posted on this site.. people here must be wearing very dark glasses if they have not seen these posts.. or am I dreaming?

I have seen these posts too.......but do not feel that because I have seen them, it makes me one of them too.

I think you are just as guilty of the crime that you load onto the fellow members of Accyweb.

I do not feel that the atrocites that happened during the second world war should be forgotten, but I don't think it is right, sensible, or fair to judge the German nation of today with the crimes that happend many years ago.
We remember so that we do not make the same mistakes again.

And if you think that the atrocites that were carried out by the Germans were the only ones in History then I suggest that you go back to the books and do some more research.

Re: Multicultural Britain - A No,No?

Mancie my post wasn't racist, I was merely pointing out something that is happening all to often, people who have never wanted to live here but then want on cash in on our health service. As I've said time and again on here, I haven't got problem people coming to this country providing they contribute, but examples like the one I mentioned are taking the pee, and that I may add is not an isolated case either. You can't go to any other country in the world and get free health care, in most countries if you haven't paid into the system you don't get treated, I think Spain is a prime example of this.

Do we?

And is that the 'Royal' we.

I think it is possible that we all fall into this trap at times, but that doesn't warrant being designated as a racist.

Got to agree Margaret. At the moment there are 2 million of our own people out of work, so why let more people into the country, they're only here as benefit tourists, because they get far better treatment here than their own countries, and to me that's crazy to say the least

As I said in an earlier post, we have to apply economic rules to migrants......even if this hasn't been done in the past.
I feel that without this form of monitoring of the funds of migrants we will be increasingly overwhelmed by the benefit demands of those who have not(and probably will not) pay into the system.
The whole of the benefits system require a root and branch overhaul of major proportions.
Successive governments(of all colours...and not in the racist sense) have tinkered around the edges, and not made any real differences.

To be honest I can't see it happening soon.

Of course its the system cashy, an open door policy which is in operation at the moment has seen immigrant numbers to increase by 1 million in the last four years, and no one is going to tell me they have all come looking for work, its well known the Britain is an easy touch
